After failing twice to reach the confluence, we assembled a team of explorers (3 families) complete with cheerleaders.

It was clear from the first attempt in 2003 that it had to be approached from the north. On the second attempt we discovered a better approach path to the right of the railway for the one we used to the left was deemed for 4x4s and we had to abort it due to rain (dry creeks can get messy). This third time we rode the easy path as close as 1.5km from the confluence, the walk is hard and painful because of stones and cacti.

We slowly climbed 250m to the confluence but for an strange reason we could not zeroed the GPS, the reading kept saying 10,9,5,3,2m the next second it read 10m in the opposite direction we tried a couples of times with same results, it was my conclusion that the steep wall to the south was causing interference.
